I don't think that's Microsoft's plan. Windows 10 emoji are not compliant with the Fluent design system (or at least not the latest version) and I don't think they will. @gfodor you can use https://emojipedia.org to find emoji and then scroll down, click on 'Microsoft' and then use the latest version of the 'Windows 10' image provided in the dropdown.
If you'd like to view all the Windows 10 emoji, you can via https://emojipedia.org/microsoft/windows-10-may-2019-update/.

Glad you're digging them! Currently we have no plans to release the Win10 emoji publicly.

To bump and follow with the question of @gfodor, I'm also interested to know at least the license or way of using emoticons from Microsoft Windows 10 / 8 / MSN / etc.... before the Fluent Design was created, outside the use of Microsoft app. Lots of copyrights already exists for the fonts as an example, it's kind of "blurry" for the emoticons. I guess it's more about redistribution rules ?

I've tried to post on Microsoft forums as well :

but nobody seems to know exactly. Any clue @jasoncuster please ? Or could you forward to a Microsoft's official close to you that could help us pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ? m(_ _)m Or tell me a more appropriate place where I could reach someone to figure this out ?

Appreciate any help / hint 👍 Thank you very much in advance for your time

@peter-power-594 TL;DR I'm assuming not. Microsoft have done their best to open-source the new fluent-emoji but if you can't find a repo for the Emoji from early versions of FluentUI/WinUI which contains a non-restricting license, which of course we know there is none, then nobody can legally use those icons. Even though they are no longer used, the copyright for them remains.

I'd love to use the old Windows 10 emoji with their distinctive thick black outlines for a project.

Any effort to open-source them for legacy usage would be appreciated!

Edit: I'll add this issue as it's relevant to showing demand for the legacy set. The requestor wants a way of switching between Emoji sets like you can on the Unigram Telegram client: #101
